General Description: New Dynamic English is a multimedia course for beginning through advanced-level students of spoken English. Created by experienced teachers and based on classroom-proven instructional strategies, New Dynamic English maximizes the effectiveness of multimedia by focusing on the key skill necessary to acquire language: listening.

General Description: New Dynamic English is appropriate for intermediate level learners to practice and progress to advanced level. The course emphasizes listening and speaking skills focused on practical language for everyday use.

This is an exciting time in the field of language teaching. Yet many ESL/EFL professionals are either unaware of or remain indifferent to developments in other fields that are of fundamental importance to language teaching, such as the evolving role of computer assisted language teaching (CALL) and recent learning theories based on neuroscientific studies.

The advent of multimedia computers allows for multimodal input and practice, where learning activities can take advantage of the hierarchical structure of the human brain and the interplay between listening, speaking, memory, and the pattern-recognition logic that is at the heart of human intelligence.

Ward, C. Singapore: SEAMEO Regional Language Centre. The paper focuses on the importance of having a learning theory to clarify the roles of teachers and technologies in a blended approach to English learning. The brain-based learning theory, Recursive Hierarchical Recognition (RHR) is introduced and briefly described.

The growing need for proficient speakers of English in a world where English is the medium of knowledge transfer has put CALL in the spotlight. This paper is a brief overview of its recent history, from its early over-emphasis on technology to its present coming-of-age, its growing links to learning theories, and its promises for the future.

Technology is on the threshold of transforming education, a fact underscored by the theme of this conference, and something I witness firsthand everyday. From my perspective, as one who has been a proponent of CALL from its earliest days, it’s clear that many teachers and administrators are not prepared to deal with technology, even when the decision has been made to do so.
